Why You Shouldn't Search for Company on the Net --
7-25-04
|
ell, since my misadventure with Goth guy, I lost my mind temporarily
and began seeking out company in chat rooms and other online dating services.�
Although I have not met any of these men in real life, I have to share
my experiences, as they're too ridiculous to be real.
-
Match.com
-
Real Estate Broker -- 36 -- we exchanged e-mails and eventually elevated
to talking on the phone.� While his e-mails were light-hearted and
fun, our phone conversation was quite different.� After a few minutes
of conversation, we got on the subject of his children... which led to
the discussion of his ex-wife.... which lasted for two hours.... two hours
about how she put him down and was so bitter.... yeesh
-
Goth Guy -- 33 -- the first time he and I spoke on the telephone, he kept
shouting Hahah! as if he'd just succeeded in pulling an elephant from his
hat.� He did impressions of Mickey Mouse and Beavis and Butthead.�
He told me he was organizing a "Gothnic," which is a picnic at a cemetery
at night.
-
Ph.D. Candidate -- 35 -- insisted on talking on the telephone right away.�
Swore he'd call me back.� Haven't heard from him since.
-
Friendfinder.com
-
90% of the contacts I got were men older than my dad.
-
90% of the pictures I was sent were pictures of someone's penis.
-
Sac Guy -- has a friend e-mail me because he doesn't want to pay to e-mail
me through the site.� We get on the IM, and he proceeds to tell me
how much I remind him of a girl he was once in love with but never pursued.�
Is that supposed to flatter me?
-
Yahoo Chat
-
Bass Player Guy -- 33 -- looked like one of the cast members of That 70's
Show.� Told me he wanted to meet a girl with no baggage.� Then
he spent the next hour or so dumping all of his on me.
-
TheGipper -- immediately asked me if I would be in the Tahoe area any time
soon.� I told him that I hadn't any plans to be there, but continued
talking to me.� Out of nowhere, he asks me my weight.� I didn't
give him exact numbers but told him that I weighed more than him.�
"I prefer petite best, and don't go much over average.� But I'll continue
chatting with you."� Is that supposed to make me feel better?
-
Cafe Guy -- 38 -- witty banter in the chat room makes me think this guy's
o.k.� His picture is cute.� He asks me to call him and gives
me his cel #, so I do.� His manner of speech is very effeminate, but
that's not really an issue.� But then he proceeds to talk incessantly
about breasts for the entire time we were on the phone.� What clothes
he'd buy for me.� How he'd like to stroke them.� It was bizarre.
-
Dragonfly -- a woman sends me an IM.� I figured she was a bot, and
didn't realize that I was female, but after a while it became apparent
that she did, and that she was interested in chatting with me.� She
got a little flirty, and I'm not entirely put off by that, so I continued
the conversation as I looked up her profile.� Or should I say HIS
profile?� S/he was a transsexual who is very sexually attracted to
women.� He was actually an interesting conversation, but what is this?
In any case, I think I'm cured. |
